Notes
Chinese Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus henryana) is a vine for borders and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to moist soil of most types. It can climb to a great height, so give it a sturdy support or plenty of room to spread. Birds visit it. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Hardy geranium, Bluebell, and Azalea.
